Maximo is an Enterprise Asset and Service Management application suite.
A few years back, the comany that owned the oftware was bought by IBM, and
after that the Maximo software is (being) incorporated into the Tivoli
suite.
Although one of our customers is running Maximo, I don't know what the SMD
is, as we only are responsible for the DBMS-support (in our case: DB2 LUW).
The OP shouldn't have asked his question in the Oracle and DB2 groups, but
in a Maximo related forum like:
